Note: While I miss my big cuddle buddy Pumpkin so much, and my eyes still water thinking of him...
He led a long, happy life and passed peacefully on my lap in the garden he loved.
And now I have two new cats. They can never replace his big heart, but I love them too, and they're a lot of fun.
See my @mimi-and-luna blog for the little Mama cat and her big fluffy goth daughter who are keeping me company now.

Oil painting, about 20 hours. My buddy, my friend, my furry philosopher. So loved.
(Still wet; I'll have to get a better pic without the studio light glare later.)

are you guys hearing about this dude working to developing a vaccine for cats that he's hoping would like. theoretically double their lifespans?
turns out i wasn't making that up, his name is Dr. Toru Miyazaki! he also wrote a book called "The Day Cats Live To Be Thirty", so cats are kind of his thing.
apparently, cats' kidneys tend to be the thing that takes them down, something about their bodies being unable to self-clean their kidneys, and the vaccine is supposed revitalize the body's ability to do just that. It would be very VERY fucking cool to have cats suddenly reaching 30 years of age be the normal thing.
As they age, almost all cats develop kidney disease, from which they eventually die. Just as in humans, kidney disease i
Dr. Toru Miyazaki’s AIM injection for cat kidney disease enters trials in 2025, aiming for a 2027 release. Greycoat Research supports the sc
whoa wait i actually read the articles and it's so much cooler than just that!!
dude cracked the case about WHY kidneys fail, across the board as far as i can tell. turns out there's a specific molecule whose job it is to attach to waste and signal macrophages to come eat it. it remains inactive in cats for some reason, but the molecule is still there. basically what he's done is found the switch to activate them. this will be profound not only for our domestic babies, but for big cats too - especially cheetahs!
although his research was focused on cats, it's already being used to develop drugs for humans too!
on top of that, since these molecules are tags for waste, this could also dramatically lower the rate of fatty liver disease, liver cancer, urinary crystals, rheumatoid arthritis, and even some neurological cases! like, they're hoping it may have an impact on parkinson's and alzheimers, but it DOES have an impact on stroke recovery. like. holy shit.
furthermore, he's insisting that the feline drug be affordable if and when it rolls out onto the market. he wants this to be something anyone can get for their cat!! idk how much sway he'll have over the human drug, but hopefully enough that it, too, won't be that expensive.
annnnnd in his research that he's still doing for the human side of things, he's found a potential link between this molecule and estrogen. in the 20,000 samples he's tested, women between ages 10 and 29 had the highest amount of this molecule present in their blood (a higher amount means Something Fucky is going on, essentially. There's a higher amount of waste the body is trying to clean out) but it drops down to be almost equal amongst men and women after menopause. it hasn't been looked into yet, but fuck, just the fact it's noted and known and probably WILL be looked into soon??? imagine if this is what leads to figuring out all the various ways the ovaries and uterus fucks with people and how to fix it. or even like, maybe there's something about estrogen that makes it work better. who knows! but it's rad the link is there to be researched :D
man just think, not only could our kitties start living longer, healthier lives, but just maybe dialysis will become as rare and obsolete as the iron lung is for people. what a badass Dr. Toru is!
"But I don't want to turn people into dinosaurs. I wanna cure kittie kidneys!"
I hope this winds up being revolutionary in the "medicine is not revolutionary until the impoverished can afford it" sense.
I learned about this as my 19 year old buddy was dying of kidney disease (after my previous 18 yo companion died of kidney disease), and I cried so hard at the thought it might be the last time I had to go through it.
It was worth the heartbreak, but dang it's hard to adopt again after going through that twice with your best friend.

recollections
I hope we never find out. There should be some mysteries in this world.
It is a mystery for the ages (but i'm sure some Pumpkin out there can beat my big boy's 17 pounds)
Every now and then my photo widget brings up a good memory
Pumpkin in March 14, 2020 making my first day of lockdown look cozy — i mean, yes, Plague Year, but I'm a scholar of history, so for me it was a matter of getting through something I'd half expected someday — and in the event, I couldn't have asked for a better housemate

Floofy cat
(via)
Ah yes, the joys of Maine Coon cats, water, and paw floof
my neighbor texted me a photo she found on her phone from catsitting the old boy a year and a half ago
I still get teary eyed when I see his pics. I'm growing very fond of the new cats, but they still feel like independent little animals,whereas he felt like a who.
Still missing my big fluffy boy.
Having another attack of missing my big ol' purrbox cuddly stuffed animal.
he was made of love.
I don't like posting photos of myself online, and this one is taken from the Anti-Selfie angle to make me look like a frog, but it features Pumpkin being his affectionate and purry self.

Pumpkin May 1, 2024.
The day before he passed away. Beautiful eyes until the end, even when he'd stopped eating and drinking.
I've had insomnia since yesterday, remembering his last day — mostly the leavetaking at sunset in the garden, the best it could be. It was peaceful, and I am very sure he asked us to let him rest.
Today at sunset I buried some of his ashes in his favorite sleep spot in the garden. I hadn't been up to having a memorial until now. I thought about asking Kristina over, but I didn't want to reopen old sorrow, and I probably needed it more than she does.
It wasn't very formal. I just talked to him again, told him I loved him and how much he meant, wished him rest wherever he is now, and that maybe we'll meet again.
He was my buddy. I miss him.
Need Pumpkin pics back at the top of his blog; it's gotten cluttered with *gasp* other cats.
He may have been gone almost a year, but we can't have that, can we?
I like my new girls, but oh, Pumpkin, you were a personality. I miss ya, buddy.
Happy Caturday.
